Dr. Schenk's GlassInspect for coated glass inspection detects defects and irregularities that occur in coating layers and on the glass substrate while being processed.
GlassMeasure continuously examines 100% of the glass surface to monitor overall physical properties such as coating thickness and homogeneity, color variation, haze or surface topology.
GlassInspect for coated glass inspection is used for local defect detection, including for example:
GlassInspect & GlassMeasure for coated glass inspection use Dr. Schenk’s unique MIDA Technology so one defect generates multiple images to deliver the most comprehensive material analysis on the market.
Multiplexing between different camera channels and illuminations enables a single camera to inspect the glass for defects and distinguish between core and distortion size, detect tin drops (top and bottom), and reams and ream knot defects.
Dr. Schenk’s solutions for coated glass inspection are used in multiple applications and markets and typical tasks for GlassInspect and GlassMeasure include:
In sputtering or vaporisation processes the coating layers are deposited microscopically thin onto the glass substrates. To guarantee high electrical conductivity, the coating layers must be deposited without any defects, contaminations or unacceptable thickness variations.
